Cannot sympathize with her because she killed herself

I am left wondering why all the people are commenting "Allah apnake jannat nazil koruk (May Allah grant you paradise)" etc under a Facebook video of a Bangladeshi model attempting to commit suicide in her room. [P.S. It's a video of a model's failed attempt at committing suicide which she happened to publish on her own Facebook profile later on - she blamed her ex boyfriend for trying to commit suicide]

[BTW, soon afterwards, she took another attempt at taking her own life and she succeeded - there is no published video of that, duh!].

Is this how we think by default about death and about our lives? That after death it's all about just white clouds, skies, pearls and paradise?

Christmas and Eid-e-Milaad-un-Nabi - some celebrations don't need any basis to it

A rare case when Christians are celebrating Christmas [25th December claimed to be the birthday of prophet Jesus (PBUH)] and Muslims are celebrating Eid-e-Milaad-un-Nabi [12th Rabi-al-Awwal claimed to be the birthday of prophet Muhammad (PBUH)] on the same day - Gregorian calendar meets Lunar calendar. Turns out, none of these celebrations have any real basis in the history of their respective religions - sorry to hurt you if I have done so by saying this.
